England, a copy of The Workers.
Friend paper printed with He
brew letters, but not in the Hebrew
language. The language is a He

was suppressed some four months
ago through the influence of the
Rothchilds, the Montagues and other
Hebrew capitalists. "a Picture of

We acknowledge, with thanks,
the receipt from Connecticut's Labor
Commissioner, of a copy of the re-
port of proceedings of this years
convention of Labor Commissioners
held at Madison, Wisconsin, last
June. Several interesting papers
were read, notably those of Fred
Woodrow, of Virginia, and Prof.
Folwell, of the State University Of
Minnesota, and G. G. Benny, Of
Chicago. A paper by Fred Shurr,
of Milwaukee, a printer, claiming to
be a wageworker for thirty years,
said all the trouble between capital
and labor was due to agitation by
professional agitators" who were
not workingmen. He said the Ger
mans who came to this country took
very little interest in American af-
fairs, but with "proper education"
would make good citizens. His
remedy was eight hours a day for
work-he evidently wants rest after
thirty years of wage slavery which
evidently did not tend to expand his
vision.
